Farm-level sourcing
The brand sources its coffee by partnering with importers to select beans from specific farms, cooperatives, or washing stations. They emphasize seasonal rotation to ensure freshness and highlight the unique terroir of their single-origin offerings. While they provide detailed information about the origin of their beans, they primarily market them by region and producer rather than exclusively by individual farmer name.
